This is the conversation I've been wanting to have since starting The Dinner Plan podcast. Finally, 30 episodes in, Meera Sodha's book is out in the US. We talked about burnout and finding yourself (and your love for food) again.
why buy new things for the table when you can buy these beautiful old things
For the 25th episode of The Dinner Plan, it was such a delight to talk to @mariselmsalazar.bsky.social
"burnout isn’t proof that you’re working hard. it’s proof that something isn’t working." a post worth reading: substack.com/home/post/p-...

Lesley Enston's Belly Full is a remarkable book—it was so lovely to talk to her about her research process, her favorite simple, warming dinners for cold notes, and the cookbooks that inspire her. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Talked with Carla Lalli Music about the upsides of cooking for one, and why you don't need to try new recipes all the time. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...
Oooh…
My brother makes that one all the time!
Ooh haven’t tried that but love a parent obsession.
What’s your favorite Melissa Clark recipe?
rarely ever go half-sheet any more; would rather have the control of being able to pull different ingredients out of the oven when done!
Ooh I could definitely go for a fried egg sandwich right now!
What’s your go-to sick-day dinner? We are on day 6 of this cold and still miserable.
